Filmmaker Scott Barber follows the heavy metal band GWAR, through its early days coming up through the late '80s to near-commercial success, including dark times and triumph over adversity.
Director Scott Barber does well to present “the world’s sickest band” as a loving family of weirdos. Yes, they had issues. Yes, they fell out from time to time. Yes, they might’ve sprayed a little less sperm. But who amongst us can say any different?
The Guardian by Leslie Felperin
Even if the antics shown here aren’t really your thing, it is still a hoot seeing Gwar members get interviewed by a game Joan Rivers: you can tell that beneath all the latex most of them are sweet, normal folk who remained loyal (mostly) to one another and shared a vision for the group.
The A.V. Club by Luke Y. Thompson

A generally upbeat and exhaustively-thorough film.
